foster learners' self-study ability, practical ability, passion for learning and the will to rise With the goal of general education is "to help students develop comprehensively in morality, intelligence, physical, aesthetic and basic skills, develop personal capacity, dynamism and creativity to form Socialist Vietnam's human personality, building citizenship status and responsibilities; prepare students to continue studying and going into working life, participating in the construction and defense of the country”; The general education program of the Minister of Education and Training also stated: “The positivity, self-discipline, initiative and creativity of students must be promoted; suitable to the characteristics of the subject, the characteristics of the students, the conditions of each class; foster students' self-study methods, the ability to cooperate; practice skills to apply knowledge in practice; affect the emotions that bring joy, excitement and responsibility to students' learning Based on the theme of the 2021-2022 school year "Continuing innovating management and improving the quality of education" , based on the following plan The 2021-20122 school year plan of the Department of Education and Training of Thanh Hoa, of the Department of Education and Training of the Yen Dinh district aims to innovate teaching methods, teaching according to knowledge and skills standards, in a positive direction, improving high quality education Theoretical basis In any language, the role of teaching vocabulary is also very important A language can be seen as a collection of words It is not possible to understand language without knowing the vocabulary, or through the lexical units But that does not mean that we can only understand individual, independent lexical units, but only master the language through the dialectical relationship between lexical units Thus, learning vocabulary and practicing vocabulary skills is the leading factor in the transmission and acquisition of a language in general and English in particular Since vocabulary is a language unit, it is expressed in two forms: Speech and writing To be able to use that language, it is necessary to master the form of expression of words in oral and written form But due to the relationship of vocabulary with other elements in the language: grammar, phonetics, intonation or in specific communication situations, we see that vocabulary is the "bricks" and the language French language and other linguistic elements are considered as "mortar circuits" to build a language house a The concept of the subject's role This topic plays a very important role in innovating teaching methods in the direction of promoting the activeness, initiative and creativity of students in learning activities, in order to create the ability to recognize and solve problems your topic To contribute to this goal, it is necessary to use vocabulary teaching techniques for students instead of traditional teaching (the teacher provides words and semantics) b The concept of the topic position This topic helps teachers approach this methodFrancerealcommunicate easily Vocabulary is only a small component in a sentence, but vocabulary is an indispensable means of practice and communication To be able to communicate in English requires students not only to practice skills, but also to learn vocabulary and to have a certain vocabulary c The concept of the task This topic is to study techniques to teach vocabulary to students in secondary schools The tips in this topic will help teachers save time when teaching theory and at the same time use and exploit teaching aids more effectively, creating learning excitement for students and help them remember words quickly, make the lesson more lively, attractive and attractive to students Practical basis : Currently, in high schools, like other subjects, English teaching and learning is taking place along with the innovation of educational methods, reform of textbooks, and reduction of curriculum content in order to improve the quality of life suitable to students' perception, making students have access to modern content and knowledge English vocabulary in the curriculum is also used in accordance with the general development of society First of all, starting from the object of teaching are students aged 12-16, with little life experience and limited social understanding, so the vocabulary taught at this level often has to be are combined with appropriate teaching skills to arouse interest and interest in students Besides, teaching and learning English in school also takes place in a communication environment of teachers and students with many limitations: Teaching medicine in a large group (usually a class unit with about 30 students) or more), cognitive levels have many different levels, (except for selected classes) teaching aids are not synchronized These things distract students' focus, greatly affect the skill training of students, slow down the process of absorbing knowledge of students and allocating time for each part of the lesson content suitable for each type of lecture (practice, skill) is also an impact on the appropriate selection, research and application of vocabulary teaching skills Through my teaching practice over the years, I have noticed that the old method of teaching vocabulary is usually done in the following way: The teacher (teacher) reads the lesson and then lists the words, according to the teacher, he has never appeared in the past the teaching process is new words; Then the teacher explains the meaning, usage of words, and types of words to students It has the following basic limitations: Making students passive in enriching their own vocabulary, using words in limited, inflexible communication contexts and often depending on grammatical structures Since then, the problem posed here is the study and application of vocabulary teaching skills, specifically the skills of introducing and testing vocabulary to students in an appropriate and effective manner CHAPTER II :Status of the research topic Overview of research scope and area The scope of research on techniques for teaching English vocabulary at secondary school level Current status of the research topic Currently, the teacher's vocabulary teaching still has many shortcomings In a foreign language class, the teacher spends too much time on teaching vocabulary and does not have time for students to practice In addition, the number of words is too much, usually more than 10 words in a class, the vocabulary teaching tricks are still boring, not diverse and not really attractive to students, making them difficult to learn Students feel that learning English is crammed with knowledge and very bored The students have not really grasped how to learn vocabulary, so during the lesson, they tend to focus on finding the meaning of new words and pay little attention to the content of the lesson Causes of the situation In the process of preparing lectures, teachers have not invested much, have not yet determined which words are active words, which words are passive words, have not yet grasped the vocabulary teaching tips, the lesson design is still long, some Teachers are still influenced by the Grammar translation method, not paying much attention to the communication skills Listening-Speaking-Reading-Writing The students still depend too much on the reference book "To learn English well 6,7,8,9" , when they come to class, they bring only one answer to the teacher's question correctly Thus, learning English is only coping Some children have difficult family conditions, cannot afford to buy reference books, dictionaries, newspapers, magazines and other documents in English….to study at home CHAPTER III: Main measures and solutions to implement the topic Basis for proposed solutions - Teaching and testing and assessing students' learning results according to the standards of knowledge and skills of the English program at secondary school level Main solutions - Vocabulary teaching techniques are applied in all teaching processes From vocabulary introduction, speaking and writing practice, reinforcement practice to even a warm-up to create an exciting class from the very beginning of a class - The use of vocabulary teaching tricks in the process of teaching English is aimed at making students have a complete vocabulary, serving the language learning process, grasping the meaning and usage of words in the English language communication process - Different word teaching tricks will make students feel interested in the subject, memorize vocabulary with communication context, improve self-study ability, students will enrich their own vocabulary and self Check your word usage Students will be active in communication situations as well as absorbing new knowledge - Teachers must know how to choose words to teach, in order to choose words to teach, it is necessary to consider the problems of active and passive vocabulary + Active vocabulary: Are words that students only understand and recognize and use in oral and written communication + Passive vocabulary: These are words that students only understand and recognize when listening and reading - Before designing a lesson, you must carefully read the content of the lesson, it is necessary to choose the right words to teach (about 6-8 words per lesson) equivalent to those words, then the teacher needs to prepare teaching aids What to learn and how to design exercises appropriately, choose appropriate tricks to bring high efficiency, anticipate possible situations, words that you can guess are not necessary teach - Teachers need to master the steps of teaching a new word, not skipping the word stress, avoiding the monotonous introduction of writing the word on the board without any narration Organizing and implementing a Steps to introduce vocabulary The first stage in teaching vocabulary is the introduction of new words to students Introducing new words plays a very important role in an English lesson It can help students understand the content of the lesson, understand the meaning of words, and use them through the teacher's initial introduction Normally, to introduce a new word, teachers usually take the following steps: - Suggesting words to teach with pictures, real objects, examples, situations - Introduction of words taught in English; - Let students listen times; - Students repeat new words (2-3 times in unison); - Students repeat individually (2-3 students); - The teacher presents the word on the board; - Check word meanings in Vietnamese; - Check word stress; - When teaching all new words, students write in notebooks However, not every new word that appears during the lecture to students is included in the introduction of new words The teacher must know how to choose, identify positive words, take the initiative to teach and try to promote students' self-learning ability for negative words Besides, teachers also have to know how to arrange the words that will be taught in the lesson in a reasonable order, or create open suggestions according to the topic of the lesson Example UNIT 1: LESSON 4: READING (GRADE 8) Teaching vocabulary consists of words - Character (n): Personality - Sociable (a) : Open -minded - Volunteer (n) : Volunteer - Orphanage (n) : Orphanage - Reserved (a): Discreet - Public (n) : Crowd - Sense of humor (n): Humor - Tell jokes (v): Tell jokes Teachers only need to introduce words: character, orphanage, reserved, sociable, tell jokes There are words left: public, volunteer, sence of humor for students to actively learn during the reading process, and with new words to teach, teachers should arrange them in the order of teaching 10 orphanage character sociable reserved tell jokes With a specific quote as follows: Introduction from orphanage teachers can say “It's a place where childen without parents live” Students will immediately understand what the word is about Continuing the steps of the word introduction sequence, the teacher might ask the students “How we say personality in English?” Students can answer “character” if they know or “We don't know” if they not In this case the teacher can always say: character means character in English The teacher continued: What is the personality of a person who is active, easy to get along with strangers, communicates widely? – Students can answer the word open (introduced the word sociable) The teacher continued: What is the opposite of openness? – Students can answer the word discreet, quiet (introduced the word reserved) What is your classmate's story that makes the whole class laugh? – Students can answer the word tell jokes (introduce the word tell jokes) Example 2.UNIT 2: LESSON 2: SPEAK (GRADE 9) Teaching vocabulary consists of words in sequence : - Short sleeve blouse (n) - Sleeveless (a): Without sleeves (shirt) - Faded (a): Silver color - Plain (a): Smooth, no pattern - Plaid (a): Checkered - Baggy (a): Baggy Introduce the word “short-sleeved blouse” and the word “faded” the teacher can use real objects, introduce the word “plaid” the teacher can draw on the board, introduce the words “plain”, “baggy”, and “sleeveless” “Teachers can use pictures Example 3.UNIT 9: LESON 1: LISTEN AND READ (GRADE 8) Teaching vocabulary consists of words, arranged in sequence - ambulance (n): ambulance - emergency (n): emergency case - unconcious (n): unconscious - bleed (v): bleed With a specific quote as follows: The teacher shows the students a picture and asks “what's this?” Students answer: Ambulance Teacher says: ambulance means ambulance in English (referral from ambulance).Teacher asks: When we need an ambulance Students answer: When there is an emergency (referred from emergency) How to say "sober" in English? – Concious – Do you know what the opposite word for “concious” is? (introduced from unconcious) - What happens when we are cut in the hand? – bleeding (introduced from bleed) Example 4: UNIT5 B1,2 (grade7) (Teaching vocabulary consists of words) -recess 11 - bell, -to play blindman's bluff -to play catch -to play marbles -to skip rope With recess, teachers can use synonyms break, bell: assign real objects, while the rest use pictures In addition to arranging and arranging vocabulary words to teach teachers, teachers also have to use skills to introduce new words, creating attraction for students through skills of introducing words We also know that the amount of time to introduce vocabulary in a class takes a small part, only from to minutes (and a maximum of 10 minutes), so when introducing words, teachers must make the lead so real clear, specific, simple and fast Teachers must choose appropriate word introduction skills, both to attract students' attention and to help students memorize vocabulary at an early stage With examples 1, 2, and just mentioned above, we see a lesson that teaches teachers to use many different skills to introduce words Example 1: Introduce the word through - Suggestion (Elicitation): orphanage - Translation : character - Situation: sociable - Antonym: reserved - Real things as an example: (Example) : tell jokes Example 2: Introducing the word through Real thing: Short - sleeved blouse, faded - Drawing (Drawing/Picture) : plaid - Picture (Picture) : plain, baggy, sleeveless Example 3: Introduce the word through - Picture: ambulance To play marbles ,to skip rope… - Situation: emergency, bleed - Antonym: unconcious -Synonym (Synonym): break , to chat The skill of introducing words is very rich, but how to use them, when to use them and for what purpose is a problem that requires teachers to think and apply flexibly to achieve the teaching purpose b Tips for introducing new words Introduce vocabulary through visual widgets (visuals) + Real thing: (Real thing) Example: - bulb/water bill (unit 7- grade9) - doll (unit – grade 9) + Picture: (Picture): Example: - eye chart/wheel chair (unit 9) - graze (unit – grade 8) With the new textbooks for grades 7, and now with many beautiful pictures, teachers can take advantage of this to introduce vocabulary to students Introduce words through teacher's actions.(mime/guesture) Example: Wrap/mix/press (unit 10) 12 Come in / sit down /open/ close /Brush teeth/get dress (grade 6) Introduce words through context: (situation/explanation) Help students understand how to use the learned words and use them correctly in each communication situation Example: award (unit 13); guarantee (unit 14) grade Control (unit 5); innovation (unit 7) grade Introduce words through synonyms and antonyms (synonym/antonym) It is a combination of both introducing new words and practicing the words taught Example: noisy >< quiet (unit8) different >< same Introduce words through examples (example) This skill helps students have a set of words by topic Eg: Chores: the washing up, sweep the floor, cook, tidy up, make the bed Subjects: math, history, english Introduce words by means of translation (translation) This skill helps teachers introduce words in a concise manner, without wasting time, especially with words with abstract meanings Example: demonstrate (unit 2) ; contact (unit 10) Behavior (unit 5); deposit (unit 10) In short: Using vocabulary introduction skills is to find the closest and easiest way to approach students' knowledge acquisition, help students acquire knowledge faster, and enjoy the lesson learn more And to achieve high efficiency in the introduction of vocabulary, in addition to choosing the right skills to introduce words, teachers also have to perform the pronunciation of words in a standard way, and present the words correctly and clearly on the board so that students can recognize the word being taught from every objective angle c Simple vocabulary test tips Checking students' vocabulary is also an important part of the teaching process It determines how well students grasp the word Testing usually takes place under two levels; Simple and complete A simple test is an individual vocabulary test, testing immediately after completing a vocabulary introduction Test activities in each lesson are often presented by teachers in the form of games that make students excited and enthusiastic about the lesson, and stimulate competition in learning We can use some tricks to check vocabulary just learned in class such as: - Rub out and remember: Delete the word introduced on the board and ask students to recreate it on the board - Slap the board: Write the words you just introduced or paste pictures showing the words on the board Ask students to tap the word or picture when the teacher reads the word (words on the board in English are read in Vietnamese and vice versa) - What and Where: Write the newly introduced word in the circles on the board, let students read and erase the words, then ask students to rewrite the word in its old position 13 - Jumbled words: Teacher writes words with jumbled letters, then asks students to rewrite the word correctly - Word square: The teacher prepares a crossword containing the introduced words, asking students to circle the words they found - Networks: Students write a network of words by topic - Bingo: Students choose words from the words suggested by the teacher on the board, after listening to the teacher read, if any student can hear the first words, then shout "bingo" - Guessing game: A student writes a word on a piece of paper or uses word pictures, then uses other words to describe and express that word for other students to guess - Matching: In one column the teacher writes the word, and the second column writes the concept or definition out of the order of the first column, then asks students to match the words with their concepts or definitions - Ordering: The teacher asks the students to write the words in their notebooks, then the teacher reads a short passage containing those words, the students listen and mark the order of the words according to the reading order Test tricks are performed at different teaching hours to create something new and not boring for students On the other hand, we also need to pay attention to student status, or how fast or slow a student's perception is to ensure that testing is done regularly and with all students For good students, quickly absorbing teachers using skills that often require students to recreate the part they have learned such as; Rub out and remember, slap the board, what and where, networks For students who are weak and slow to absorb, use test methods that are suggestive of words such as jumbled words, wordsquare, matching, ordering d Complete vocabulary test tips Besides simple testing tricks, there are also complete testing tricks The completion test is done after the vocabulary is practiced, reviewed and consolidated in the speaking and writing practice hours, listening, reading and writing practice hours This type of test usually takes the form of a spoken or written test Teachers can it right in the "warm up" part of the lesson or in the form of an old lesson test, a 15-minute test, a 45-minute test or a semester test Eg: - Gap fill: Students fill in the blanks to complete a sentence or a paragraph - Choose the best anwser: Students choose the best answer from the suggested answers - Put words in the right order: Students arrange the shuffled words into complete sentences - Write sentence from the words given: Students write sentences from the suggested words - Chain game: Students work in groups, the latter add ideas to the previous sentence - Dictation: Students listen and copy the dictation - Nought and crosses: Students perform a vocabulary test in the form of communication practice sentences 14 - Pyramid: Students write sentences by topic in the form of organization from individuals to small groups, large groups to gradually complement each other's ideas - The purpose of this completion test is to check whether students understand and use words correctly in specific communication situations, and besides, to help students build a complete vocabulary and In abundance, testing can be done according to specific requirements or aggregated in a 45-minute test or a semester test - Listening test: Gap fill, Choose the best answer, dictation - Speaking test: Chain game, nought and crosses - Reading test: Gap fill, choose the best answer - Writing test: Put words in the right order, write sentence from the words given, pyramid In the process of teaching English, the introduction and test of vocabulary, although not taking up much time, play a very important role, creating a premise for students to master and use the language correctly later The teacher as a guide must use appropriate tricks in the process of introducing vocabulary to achieve the purpose of the lesson In the process of composing In the lesson, the teacher must choose the appropriate skills and techniques, carefully prepare the word suggestions, the necessary items related to the word introduction, and choose the appropriate way to check the words interesting for students , help students remember long and deeply understand the lesson III CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Conclusion Over a period of time, the application of the above new methods of teaching vocabulary in practice in the first classes has yielded certain results a For students - Most students master vocabulary and practice speaking or communicating - The children are very active in class, their activities are self-disciplined, the class is comfortable, they have more interest in the subject, they learn more words and remember them longer, their thinking ability They also make better progress - Because of the vocabulary, the communication is also more advanced and more confident, not timid and not afraid of mispronouncing anymore They have been able to put vocabulary into communication to create a lively, positive and effective atmosphere in class and through periodic tests, they have achieved high results b For teachers - These vocabulary teaching tips help teachers save time in the introduction of corpus, the vocabulary is not overloaded for students, and spend more time on practicing speaking and writing skills The time allotted for parts in a lesson is guaranteed - The introduction, test and review tips from most of the design are in the form of language games, so the classroom atmosphere is less stressful, making the lesson more engaging and effective - Through the above tips, the teacher's introduction and word test is also 15 more closely related in many forms Help students grasp new words more quickly and effectively while overcoming the disadvantages of the traditional grammartranslation method Recommendations - Increase investment in equipment and reference materials to serve the teaching and learning of English - Every year it is necessary to add new pictures suitable to the content and program;
